Hey, everybody, I'm coach Bill Courtney from the Oscar winning documentary Undefeated. In Memphis, my hometown, there's a number of off ramps off the two point forty Loop that when you're driving by them, they're just not the place you want to pull over and have change a flat tire. And you see the loss and the poverty and the hopelessness and the despair and the disenfranchisement, and you think, gosh, somebody ought to do something about that down there, And you say it, or you think it as if the sentiment matters, as if the thought matters. The thought doesn't matter, It changes nothing, It moves no needle. My suggestion is you tilt the rearview mirror just about fifteen degrees and you look yourself in the eyes and you say, you know, I ought to do something about that down there. This sense that somebody out to fix our prom is part of the problem. Government has proven woefully inadequate in caring for the most disadvantaged among us. And all these fancy people on seeing an inbox using big words that nobody really understands, they're not fixing anything. In fact, they're part of the problem. We need an army of normal folks, just people like me and you saying hey, I can help in my community. It's not government, it's not fancy people on TV. It's just you and me filling a need.
